I've never felt so obsessive-compulsive in my life! Right before submitting the first chapter, I decided to do a bit of proofreading. Finding a couple of mistakes and fixing them, I had it published. Even after, I had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right. So I went back to proofread, again. And I fixed the areas that didn't sound right. Five minutes later I did it again. I've practically re-edited and updated the first chapter ten times! Just note that there will be changes and edits even after publishing chapter, some you will notice and others are subtler.
Anyways, enough about my rant and enjoy the second chapter of Cardcaptor Sari! Please read and review!
Thanks avatoa for your review.

Fly's Sorrow
Sari enjoyed the remainder of her meal in silence. Kero, who found nothing else sweet to consume, decided to focus on detecting Clow Card energies. He sat cross-legged on the book in a meditative fashion. A position Sari was familiar with every time Prowl would do his daily mediation on the canopy or underneath the great tree in his room or in the main room of the factory. Golden light surrounded Kero's body as he slowly levitated into the air, eyes shut in concentration. Minutes passed, Sari threw away the torn wrappers and empty juice box into the nearest garbage bin and walked over to the silent guardian.
"Any luck?" hoping that Kero manage to turn up some results. The yellow guardian just sighed (the golden light faded away), floating downwards before slouching his back. His head, rested on both his hands, was etched with worry and unhappiness.
"No good, I can't tell where the cards are at all. I guess the only away to find them now is wait till they show themselves," silence followed, lasting for a few seconds before Sari decided to ask the guardian a question that had been nagging her since the start.
"Hey Kero, you said earlier that I had to seal all the Clow Cards with this," said Sari as she pointed to her newly acquired key (she had it tied around her neck during lunch with a strand of string). "But for some reason this card came back, why's that?"
Sari held up Windy's card for the guardian to see.
"I'm not surprised,"
"Why?" Sari cocked her head.
"Like I said before, each card's alive and have their own unique characteristics. Windy is kind and compassionate, which explains why she returned rather than escape. In the deck there's a whole variety of personalities ranging from friendly to aggressive, behaved to mischievous,"
"So there are some cards I can catch without putting up a fight?"
"For a few, yes, but you don't really want to push your luck. Even the kind-hearted ones can cause some form of disorder," Kero looked at the bottom of the Windy card. "Before I forget, you should really write your name at the bottom,"
"Why?"
"In the world of magic, even the most everyday things like your name are a powerful force. By writing your name on the card you claim ownership over that certain card and the cards themselves will recognize you as their master. A bond is made that allows you to utilize their powers,"
"And what if I don't?" as Sari took out a pen from the nearby table.
"Would you enjoy having to recapture them, again?" Sari got the point as she carefully wrote her name in bold.
"Now that you asked me a question, I would like to ask you one," Kero pointed to Sari.
"Ask away," Sari replied back.
"What's that?" as Kero pointed to another, larger key that rested above the newer key she received from Kero. The larger key, of course, was Sari's AllSpark key.
She acquired it during her first encounter with Optimus and his team at the bottom of Lake Erie. Accidentally stumbling upon the AllSpark, the sentient object chose Sari to be the bearer of some of its power and bestowed its energy into her security card key, changing it into a large key-shaped metallic block. More than once Sari relied on the power of the Key to get her friends and herself out of sticky situations (and sometimes for personal use).
Listing out what she used it for: that would be healing a severely injured Prowl from offlining, reviving an already offlined Optimus Prime, messing up Tutor-Bot so she could leave class early and taking control of various machines (and a few touchy details, like accidentally rebooting Megatron) it was an invaluable object.
"Oh this? This is my Key; it can do all sorts of neat things to mechanical objects, like repairing them or powering them up when there's no electricity,"
"Sounds powerful, good thing it's in responsible hands," Kero noticed who he was talking to. "Oh wait, I take that back, I'm staring at the very person who broke the seal and unleashed a bunch of Clow Card onto the world,"
Sari's fist collided with the plush creature's head.
"Says the person who slept on the job of keeping said cards sealed away,"
"Ow… okay I get your point," tears formed at the corners of Kero's eyes.
"So now that we're on the subject of tools, what can I do with my other key?"
"Besides unleashing the power of the cards and sealing them you can use the Sealing Wand as a medium for casting some serious magic, if your magic powers increase," said Kero.
"You mean like throw fireballs and summon thunderclouds at my whim?"
"Yup, but right now you're only centered to using just the cards,"
"Cool! I can't wait to tell my friends about this!"
"No can do, Sari!" as Kero shot into the air, his arms crossed each other to form an 'X' shaped formation, giving the girl a glare.
"Why not!?" Sari pouted.
"The history of magic has been one filled with secrecy. A force as powerful as the arcane needs to be handled with great responsibility and not everyone should be allowed to wield it, imagine if such powers were to fall into the wrong hands," said Kero.
Sari could imagine it easily; she had seen it herself. Once Starscream, Megatron's second in command, who had managed to backstab Megatron fifty years ago in space got a hold of the AllSpark. It was only for a moment he had it in his servos, but one shot of energy was enough to disintegrate a chunk of Detroit into oblivion. Had Optimus not stopped the power-hungry Seeker, a huge crater would have replaced the city.
"But c'mon, I trust them and they trust me and we've been together for like a long time. That's what friends are," pleaded Sari.
Kero stubbornly shook his head. "No matter if it's your friend or family, how can you be sure if they discovered this power that it wouldn't go into their heads? Despite how young I am compared to all of human history, I've seen even to most noble-hearted fall into the same trap. Even if it's not magic, there have been people who have abused the power of their position in society to get what they want,"
Sari just let out a defeated sigh.
"Okay, okay I get your point. But at least you should see them. Speaking of which, they're taking an awfully long time coming back from their little errand," she noticed that an hour had passed since they left.
"What sort of-" Kero was about to ask before shutting his mouth. His body stiffened as his eyes shifted left to right, featured tense.
"What?" Sari asked, noticing Kero's sudden pause.
"I sense the presence of a Clow Card. It's getting stronger, as if it's coming this way," whispered the guardian. Sari stiffened, preparing for a conflict with the approaching (but unseen magical creature) even though she shivered from agitation.
Sari was unsure how Kero knew that a Clow Card was near the vicinity till she felt a strange sensation. It was like feathers brushing against her and small puffs of winds blowing through her face like wings beating the air. Half a second later a card zipped through the air, passing the factory threshold and entering the Autobot home base. Before Sari could even react, Kero flew past with a smile on his face.
"Fly, you came back!" Kero cheered at the cards 'willing' return. The Card stopped and flipped in the air, revealing it's 'face'.
On it was the same sun and moon symbols along with the same orange border and gold wavy border that encompassed the drawing of the Card's physical appearance in the middle. Printed on the sun symbol was '翔'. The Card appeared to be some sort of large bird; Sari didn't recognize what species it was and concluded it was fictional. Its large pair of wings curved upwards before the long feathers that trailed the ends swept downwards, covering a portion of its body protectively. At the bottom Sari could barely see its clawed talons. Its neck curved like a crane's, its chest puffed out. Five stuck out feathers made its crown. Its graceful head ended at a sharp beak.
The Card seemed to notice the approaching guardian and responded by covering itself in soft, blue light. It let out a small ripple of blue light, just like ripples on water, and emitted the sound of chime bells. The card seemed to be communicating with Kero as the guardian responded back to the card.
"You have no idea how worried I've been! Well now that you're here I can rest more easily," Kero beckoned the card to come closer.
Fly floated forwards before coming to an abrupt halt. Even though there was no physical indication, Sari felt that the Card staring at her. Fly emitted another ripple of light, this time no chimes could be heard.
"Oh I see you met Sari, I just appointed her as Cardcaptor!" said Kero, with joy in his voice.
Fly, apparently, did not take the news well. The soft blue glow was soon replaced with a violent red. The card let out another, but quicker ripple of red as if demanding an explanation. Besides Sari, Kero was a little nervous at the card's sudden shift in mood.
"What do you mean Fly?" asked Kero, completely clueless.
Fly let out a flash of red light, clearly offended by the guardian's ignorance.
"What do you mean our previous master? Did you mean Clow Reed? He's been gone for a long time Fly,"
The card flashed out another violent red light, it wasn't talking about their creator.
"What? Are you sure you're not making this up Fly? Do you even remember having another master?" Kero was full of questions, confusion and concern was all over his face.
The card paused, speechless at the question. The red glow flickered out for a moment before igniting again, brighter and harsher.
"Fly, don't, think this through," pleaded Kero.
But the Card was beyond all sense of reason as a burst of light erupted from its form. A great sky blue bird rose from the card, unfurling its great wings. Its ruby red eyes stared at Sari with deep loathing. If looks could kill, Sari would have been slain on the spot. Fly let out a harsh cawing, high-pitched and hauntingly beautiful, before flapping its wing. Loose bits of trash, empty barrels and various light weighted objects tumbled across the floor before colliding with the wall as the magical creature let out buffets of wind. Panes of glass cracked under the sudden pressure as the TV and small tables were tipped onto their sides.
Sari manage to hold her ground, Kero the other hand was not as fortunate as he flipped through the air, screaming in surprise. The wind stopped, Sari looked up as she saw the Card in the air. Fly dived towards the girl; its wickedly sharp talons were poised to graze her. Sari managed to roll out of the way. Fly turned around and stopped in mid-air, flapping its wings again and letting out more gusts of wind (causing an even bigger mess). The avian decided it had terrorized the girl enough as its form melted into many wisps of light blue before speeding out of the factory and towards the city.
"Kero, Kero are you okay?!" as Sari looked for the yellow creature. She spotted his tail sticking from a pile of trash. Picking him up the guardian was barely conscious, a dazed expression on his face.
"Kero, wake up! That thing's headed for the city!" as Sari shook him.
It took a while for him to recover from his stupor. Shaking his head to remove the last traces of dizziness, Kero look at the direction where Fly took off.
"I don't get it, Fly's usually docile. What's gotten into it?"
"Let's worry about that later, right now we've got an even larger problem on our hands," as Sari grabbed Kero and her backpack, running off to follow the ferocious bird. Taking a quick glance back at the base she let out a groan. "Just when the place was looking great, everything falls apart in seconds,"
---
For the Autobots, the battle with Professor Princess was turning out more difficult than they thought. For one so small, she was packing quite a punch. After unleashing out a barrage of homing kitty-missiles, the street looked like a battlefield.
"Come out, come out where ever you are," beckoned Professor Princess as she let out another beam of rainbow light. The Autobots had taken cover behind buildings and upturned vehicles.
"We're trapped here like a bunch glitch mice, going to get slagged by someone who's not even a fraction of our life cycle. Things can't get any worse," shouted Bumblebee, flinching as another explosion rattled the ground.
"I believe this is what humans call 'stuck between a rock and a hard place'," said Prowl.
But by some divine intervention, a sudden gale swept through the scarred street. Loose leaves and dust covered the air, as the flames that ignited during the destruction were snuffed out. Professor Princess was unprepared as she, and Powdered Sugar, whirled through the air and landed into the hands of the police themselves (talk about luck). A crowd of pedestrians, who came to watch the battle behind police barriers, shouted in surprise as the wind blew by them. the air stilled and the Autobots came out of their makeshift barriers to thank their savior. They were a little confused to find no one.
"I guess we had a bit of luck on our side," said Bulkhead as he scratched the back of his helmet. The giant bot, along with his teammates, found the little 'miracle' a little perplexing.
Right at that moment they heard a shrill cry above them. The Autobots looked up, seeing nothing but a mass of blue feathers and a pair of curved talons. They jumped just seconds away from being crushed as dirt and other debris scattered into the air. They looked in amazement as they saw large blue bird, with a curved neck, in the middle of the streets. The bird had a pair of red eyes that glared at the people of Detroit, as if the whole world had done something wrong to it.
"Yo, nature-bot! You're an expert on something like this, what is it?!" Bumblebee shouted to Prowl.
"It closely resembles many of Earth's avian species. But its form is unrecognizable and I've never seen one so large," the cyber-ninja was awed; it's titanic size that would have easily outmatched Megatron threefold.
The large avian spread out its wing, letting out another shrieking cry, flapping its wing the bird blasted out waves of wind. Upturned automobiles scraped against the hard ground, trees swayed violently and many windows broke under the tempest. A few people and police officers were swept from their feet as they fell on their bottoms. The camera bots, that were recording the event swayed in the air. The Autobots covered their faces from potentially harmful, flying projectiles.
"Well whatever it is, it needs to be neutralized or else innocent lives will get hurt. Bumblebee, Prowl go distract it away from the humans. Me, Bulkhead and Ratchet will try to subdue it when it's far away from harming them. Autobots, go!" Optimus commanded.
Bumblebee rushed forward, stingers ready, let loose bolts of electricity on the bird's puffy chest. Upon impact the bolts merely fizzled out without leaving a mark, it didn't seem to affect the giant avian at all. But it bent its head to face the yellow bot; it obviously found Bumblebee's attacks to be irritating though. It flapped its wings again, lifting itself off the ground.
Prowl chose that moment to throw a pair of spinning, bladed disks. Flapping its feathery appendages once more, the disks faltered in the air before clanging on the ground. Bumblebee transformed into his alt form, a small yellow sports car, and drove off. Prowl followed suit and transformed into a police motorcycle, speeding after the fast bot. The bird chased after the two. The remaining Autobots followed, Bulkhead transforming into a SWAT assault truck and Ratchet into an ambulance.
"Not so smart are ya?" Bumblebee mocked at the bird as he and Prowl careened down the deserted street.
The bird seemed to have heard him (clearly offended) as it let out screech before letting out a lash of wind. This time the wind seemed to have caught them from underneath as Bumblebee and Prowl were jerked from the ground. Transforming back to their original forms, both of them screamed as they face-planted into the street next to each other.
Before either of them could recover, they heard the sound of crushing asphalt as they felt an immense pressure of their backs. The bird had pinned them with both of its talons. Both bots grimaced as the bird gazed at them with unknown hate, its blade like beak poised to finish them.
"Prowl, it's been nice knowing ya. I've got something to say before we offline," Prowl stayed silent, one of his optics arched up in a mixture a curiosity and confusion.
"I was the one who smashed up your bonsai tree collection," Bumblebee admitted.
"What!" the cyber-ninja shouted.
"It was an accident, I swear!" the yellow bot cringed from Prowl's outburst.
With a caw the bird aimed its beak at Bumblebee. Rising high in the air, the beak speared towards the young bot. Bumblebee shut his optics, preparing for the pain that would follow.
"Prowl, Bumblebee!" came the voice of Optimus.
Both of the restrained bots managed to, with difficulty, peer over their shoulders. The bird stopped to see who had cried out, only to see a blue and red bot wielding an axe high in the air. Optimus brought the axe down on the bird's neck. But rather than meet flesh, the bird's form simply melted on contact. Prowl and Bumblebee felt the pressure on their backs disappear as the bird became a nearly unrecognizable blob of light blue.
Optimus' axe knifed through the mass as if striking nothing but air. Gravity brought Optimus down to the ground, straight towards Prowl and Bumblebee (who had just picked themselves up).
"Oh slag…" Bumblebee cursed.
All three gave out grunts of pain as they collided, leaving fine prints on the street. The bird now a formless mass, shot up into the air in wisps of blue (leaving the three Autobots in a tangled mess). Optimus, being the one on top of the pile, got up first and helped Prowl and Bumblebee get back up on their feet. Bulkhead and Ratchet hurried to their sides to check to see if they were hurt, well Ratchet did, Bulkhead pulled Bumblebee into a bear hug.
"Are you alright, little buddy?" he voiced his concern as the friendly giant gave Bumblebee a good squeeze. The yellow bot swore he hear something crack.
"Bulkhead, I will be if you could just let go of me," came the muffled voice of Bumblebee.
"Oh, sorry about that," as he gently put the bot down.
"Just what was that thing?" asked Bumblebee; looking at the direction the 'bird' flew off to.
"Obviously not something Cybertronian," said Ratchet.
"Nor is it an Earth organic," Prowl continue.
"At least it stopped, but that doesn't mean it might strike again," said Optimus. "For now, let's head back."
All four of them complied as they drove off. A whole day fighting, they really deserved a cooling break. They passed through the street where they just fought off the Angry Archer and Professor Princess. Bumblebee let out a groan as they saw the destruction of their battle.
"More work for us, I guess," his other teammates kept silent, not wanting to talk about the possibility of stacking more tasks of repairing the city.
---
At the same time the Autobots were busy with Professor Princess and Fly, Sari and Kero attempted to chase the runaway Clow Card.
"I've only been asleep for fifty years and I'm amazed at how fast humans have advanced!" said Kero, taking in all the sights and sounds of bustling Detroit from his hiding spot in Sari's backpack.
"What's that?" he pointed at one of robots walking several dogs.
"That's a robot or an automaton for some," Sari only received a blank stare from Kero as she ran down the sidewalk. "A walking machine, basically,"
"Why would anyone have a machine that could walk, what's the point?"
"They don't just walk; they help us with all kinds of stuff. Like keeping the city clean, help us carry packages, deliver things to people and other chores. This gives us a lot of time to do other things,"
"Oh," Sari continued to run at the direction they saw Fly rush off to. Sari stopped near an electronics store to catch her breath.
"No way, that's impossible…" she heard Kero mutter.
"What is?" the guardian pointed at the various TV sets that were on display on the store window.
"We are reporting live of what appears to be a large bird assaulting the city. The Autobots have engaged the large avian, moments after their encounter with the notorious Angry Archer and Professor Princess. It is unknown where this bird originates from, but the police have labeled it as a potential threat to the city," a group of people began to form as they watched the events being broadcasted to them.
Sari flinched as she saw Fly nearly crushing her friends when it landed.
"This is really bad," muttered Kero.
"I know, but isn't that what Clow Cards do?" Sari whispered back.
"I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about why Fly is visible to all these people," Kero indicated to the people who were watching.
"But I saw the giant bird, why wouldn't people be able to see something that big?"
"Some Clow Cards are not visible to the naked eye, especially those who don't posses any magical powers. Clow Cards are able to mask their appearance with magic so as not to reveal their true forms,"
"So you're saying Fly's supposed to be invisible?"
"That's right; all people would feel is the wind Fly leaves behind when it flaps it's wings. I'm finding it a little strange that Fly would reveal itself so easily. My only theory is that Fly is enraged and unable to concentrate on cloaking itself,"
"Well even if it's visible or invisible, its sure causing a lot of damage," pointed Sari as they saw Fly chase after the Autobots, flipping parked cars in it's pursuit.
"We better capture it quickly then, hurry Sari!"
It wasn't long before Sari arrived at the scene, right at the moment Optimus attempted to cleave the bird. Sari and Kero watched in dismay as Fly once again fled in strands of blue. The Cardcaptor let out a groan of frustration and ran after it, again. She hoped her friends weren't badly injured. By a stroke of luck, Fly didn't travel far. It decided to perch itself on the roof of one of the many skyscrapers that dotted Detroit. Sari and Kero manage to make their way up the building. The door to the roof burst open as Cardcaptor and guardian confronted the Clow Card.
"Fly! Stop this right now!" Kero shouted. Fly responded with a shrill cry and let out a wave of wind. Sari and Kero resisted, not wanting to fall off.
"Sari, Use the key I gave you!" Sari silently nodded as she held the key in her right hand and began chanting.
The Key which hides the power of the Dark
Show your true powers before me
I, Sari, command you under our contract
RELEASE!
White light exploded, melded in with the golden light that came from the magic circle that spread underneath Sari. The key twirled in mid-air before expanding into the Sealing Wand. Sari grabbed hold of it and took out the Windy Card from her pocket. Sari threw the Card in the air, where it stayed rather than flit down to the ground. The magic circle reappeared under her. Sari was unsure of what to do, but decided to give it her best shot.
"Windy, help me capture Fly!" as she tapped the beaked tip of her staff on the Card.
"No Sari! Don't use Windy on Fly!" came out Kero's warning.
But too late as the wind spirit came forth and glided towards Fly. The bird simply stared before it opened its beak and sucked Windy into its mouth.
"What?! How could it do that?" shouted Sari in disbelief.
"Fly is attributed to Wind and so is able to harness some of Windy's powers. You can't fight Wind with Wind," Kero told Sari. "Look out!"
Fly released Windy right back at the duo as strnas of yellow and green wind erupted from Fly's open beak. The gale that struck them was nothing compared to Fly's. Sari felt like she was suffocating, unable to draw in breath from the sheer force of the tempest. The next moment Sari felt herself being lifted from the ground before being slammed into the exit door and blacking out. The last thing she saw was Kero rushing to her side.
---
Sari knew she was in a dream, but never remembered a dream that appeared so quickly. One moment she was confronting Fly, the next she blacked out and was walking through an expanse of darkness. She was the only thing that was visible. Sari continued walking before the form of Fly faded into existence. Sari tensed, prepared for what the Clow Card might do but relaxed when Fly just stared at her. Craning its head upwards it let out a long, whistling wail.
Sorrow
Sari felt it from the bird and it pained her heart to share the card's emotion.
"What's wrong," Sari went up to the card, petting one of its legs to comfort it. Fly's head moved next to Sari.
Fly let out a moan.
Confusion
Bitterness
Sari felt all of it like icicles stabbing her heart.
"I finally understand," as she rested her head against its feathery head and drifted away from the dream.
---
Sari woke with a start. Kero tried to reawaken the girl by nudging her.
"Sari, thank goodness you're awake!" relief washed over the guardian.
"Kero, I know how to capture Fly," she said as she picked herself up and rushed over to the still perched bird.
"Whoa, wait up Sari! Slow down!" but Sari ignored him as she took out Windy (she managed to return back to Sari's pocket).
Fly, seeing Sari rush over to it let out a gargled whistle and flew a few feet away from the roof. Sari kept on running; she threw Windy once again in the air.
"Sari, have you lost your mind!" shouted Kero, disbelief in his voice.
"No, but I have one heck of a plan. Windy, help boost me onto Fly!" she struck the card just as she jumped off the roof.
A sudden airy force from underneath rocketed her straight towards the bird. With arms outstretched she grabbed onto its feathery neck in a tight hug. Time seemed to have stood still as Fly froze, surprised at the act.
"There's nothing to worry about, Fly, I understand... just come back to us and everything will be better," Sari whispered, comforting the grieving bird, burying her face in its feathers.
Fly slowly made its way back to the roof. Wings relaxed; it let out a soft coo. Kero approached both of them; Fly raised its head and nuzzled the guardian.
"It's good to see you too, Fly," as Kero petted the bird. "Sari, you can go ahead,"
She let go of Fly and positioned herself in front of it. As if the words were fixed in her head, Sari chanted out…
Return to the guise that you were meant to be in!
CLOW CARD!
… and brought down the staff. Like touching an invisible wall, the Sealing Wand stopped in mid-swing. The same sound of chime bells was heard as light rippled forth from the staff tip. A blue, glowing Clow Card formed from the beak as Fly's form melted and rushed into the card. It ended when a Clow Card, with Fly on it, flitted down towards Sari's hand.
"Nice going, Sari!" Kero congratulated the girl on her first capture.
"That was awesome!" the girl cried energetically.
"That's the spirit, Sari! You'll be a great Cardcaptor!" said Kero. "By the way, how did you know that Fly needed a hug?"
"Well I did have a weird dream when I blacked out. And it wasn't just a hug, Fly just needed someone to be by its side," Sari explained.
"That is true; Fly was probably confused and scared. Making it a little aggressive," Kero nodded in his agreement.
"At least it won't be alone, now," as Sari looked at Fly's card and hugged it close to her chest, satisfaction filled her heart.
Sari was relishing the feeling till she heard a high-pitched ringing, and rumbling, coming from her pocket. Reaching in, she took out her orange mobile phone. Flipping it open, on the screen was the caller's id; it was none other than Bumblebee.
"Hey 'Bee!" Sari greeted.
"Hey Sari, you wouldn't believe what we went through! First there was the Angry Archer then Professor Princess and just when we thought we were done, a huge bird dropped from the sky. Talk about a busy orbital cycle!" despite all the fighting, Bumblebee was still in his usual talkative mood.
"I'll tell you all about it when we get back, bye" he hung up without giving Sari a chance to speak.
Sari's eyes widen in surprise.
"Oh man, they're going to blow a circuit if they find me gone! How am I ever going to make it back in time?!"
Kero remained calm, a smile on his face (a I-know-a-secret smile).
"Okay, what's with that smile?"
"I think this would be a good time to try out Fly, Sari," the Cardcaptor gave the guardian a questioning look.
Sari placed the card on the ground and struck it with the staff. It was enveloped in blue light as the sound of chime bells rang, but rather than Fly coming out the wings on the Sealing Wand glowed. Sari watched in amazement as the wing cutouts grew to twice her height. The light faded away to reveal a pair of white, feathery wings. Sari stood there, rooted to the spot, not sure what to do.
"Well what are you waiting for? Hop on!" Kero coaxed Sari.
Sari mounted the staff and did a little jump. The result was instantaneous; the wings flapped and lifted off the ground. Sari rocked a bit before regaining her balance and steered herself upwards.
"This is so cool!" Sari shouted out for the world to hear.
"How is it? Doesn't it feel good?" asked Kero, flying beside Sari.
"Yeah!" Sari replied, feeling the wind brush her face and hearing the rhythmic beating of wings.
"I'll enjoy working with you, Cardcaptor Sari!"
"Me too Kero,"
Kero took a quick glance at Sari. Remembering her words of having the dream that gave her the answer of calming down Fly.
"There's more than meets the eye for this girl. I'm confident she'll find and capture all the cards. Maybe do even more," Kero thought as he and Sari soared through the sky.
Dun dun da da daduuun dun dun dun!
Leave it to Kero!
"Hey-hey-hoo!" greeted a familiar yellow plush creature, holding a microphone, as he jumps from underneath. "This is Leave it to Kero, and I'm your host, Kerberos! This segment is to explain the various things that appear in Cardcaptor Sari! For today we have Sari's choice of attire," The background changes into a picture of Sari.
"It's a very simple long-sleeve, striped dress along with matching boots and socks. The sides have a light orange and the middle section is beige, kinda reminds me of peach yogurt. The boots are also light orange while the soles are the exact beige; this goes for the socks as well. Though not very attractive to the eye it really tells a lot about Sari. She's a girl who has better thing to do than keep up with the latest fashion trend,"
"Now, Kero's Check!" Kero shouted as he shoved his face close to the camera.
"Today's check point is those two hair clips above her forehead. They're the same color as her clothes, she must really like those colors,"
Kero seats himself on an elegant, wooden study chair with red cushions and arm rests. He has a smoking pipe in his right hand and is wearing a pink bow tie around his neck. Behind him is an ornate wooden study table with a globe, some books and a curved flower lamp set on top.
"Anyways, that's it for this time, but don't you understand it well now? I'll continue to aggressively check the details. Y'all should look forward to it. See ya!" Kero waved his arm in farewell.
End of the second chapter!
Thanks for reading, don't forget to review!
